We hope that by being proactive and keeping a distance, the bears will remain wild.<br>Before going out in the park, please make sure you check out our Bear and Cougar Safety Brochure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bear-cougar-safety-1-1.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"404\" height=\"244\" data-src=\"https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover.jpg\" alt=\"Bear and Cougar Safety Cover\" class=\"wp-image-581 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover.jpg 404w, https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover-300x181.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 404px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 404\/244;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"404\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover.jpg\" alt=\"Bear and Cougar Safety Cover\" class=\"wp-image-581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover.jpg 404w, https:\/\/chilcotinarkinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cover-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sign up to our mailing list and receive our FREE Bear and Cougar Safety PDF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"forminator-guttenberg\"><div class=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-704 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\" data-forminator-render=\"0\" data-form=\"forminator-module-704\" data-uid=\"663c6ff1ee23d\"><br\/><\/div><form\n\t\t\t\tid=\"forminator-module-704\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-704 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\"\n\t\t\t\tmethod=\"post\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-forminator-render=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-form-id=\"704\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tdata-design=\"default\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tdata-grid=\"open\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tdata-uid=\"663c6ff1ee23d\"\n\t\t\t><div role=\"alert\" aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"forminator-response-message forminator-error\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"name-1\" class=\"forminator-field-name forminator-col forminator-col-6 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-name-1_663c6ff1ee23d\" id=\"forminator-field-name-1_663c6ff1ee23d-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">First Name <span class=\"forminator-required\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"text\" name=\"name-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"E.g.
